"It will [Andy Nguyen's Restaurant], however, provide you with a welcome opportunity to order another Con Rông Cháu Tiên®, a bright, rich, hoppy, and intensely fruity ale…its intricate gold-on-black label, its vibrant aroma and dense, sweetish flavor - in reviewing my notes, I was surprised at how often I referred to the beer's superb, unflagging flavors."- Mike Dunne, The Sacramento Bee

"Cháu Tiên® is a wonderful beer, a classic dinner brew with a fruity, drinkable characteristic. I believe Cháu Tiên® would work poetically with Oriental and Indian cuisine as well."- Joseph Izzo, Jr., The San Jose Mercury News
